Support of Websocket

[andre2007]

Both, libcurl and Vibe.d supports websocket. It would be great if you could add Websocket support to requests.

Hello @andre2007

It would be interesting. I never looked at websocket, so I have to investigate

Hello @andre2007

I looked a bit into this topic. Looks like websocket is essentially async protocol, it should use some event loop to operate. Right now I'm not sure how to integrate requests with event loop framework.

Hello @ikod
Yes, I assume this is the difficult part. Adam also has Websockets in his implementation (based on his own http implementation instead of curl). https://www.github.com/adamdruppe/arsd/tree/master/http2.d
Maybe you can look here how he has solved the event loop problem.
